Tango

Tango is a 5 year old saluki lurcher who we believe was used for hunting until his owners surrendered him.  He is so beautiful and gentle, but he also gets a regular dose of the giddies which leads to vast, sprinting loops of our fields!

Tango, we believe, has never lived inside a home before.  He loves bed and will settle easily into a house, however, house-training may be something to work on across his first couple of weeks in a home.  He is very clean here in kennels since getting neutered, but it should be considered that living in a home will be new to him.

Tango does well with other dogs.  He is terrific with the females but will try to be the boss if other males are being annoying around him! We would definitely rehome him with a female dog, but a male would have to be pending a meet and greet.  Tango does not necessarily have to live with another dog, but if there is no dog in his home, we would hope there wouldn’t be too many leaving hours.  Lurchers do not generally do well by themselves for any real length of time.

Tango has never lived with children before and can be a bit grabby with food (perhaps understandably) so we would prefer a home with children 12 plus for Tango. Meanwhile, a secure garden is preferrable given that he has probably been used for hunting in the past and may have a prey drive that does not stop at your boundary! This may be negotiable depending on the location of the home offered and the efforts owners put into oversight.

We really would love to see Tango find a loving home, he is so affectionate when happy.  He is also deserves a home where he is very much part of the family rather than a hunting accessory.
